    A guy like Diggs can also really hurt a young QB, though. He will put a lot of pressure on Stroud to feed him the ball. Not saying that is for sure going to happen, but Diggs is very talented and wore out his welcome with two teams that really needed him. When the Browns signed OBJ, it really ruined Mayfield who had shown some promise prior.

      Id just sign Palmer now and then draft another WR.
      I think you are right. Boyd has played longer and is more of known quantity, but Palmer is a little faster and can do more and is younger. Problem with Palmer is he misses games every season. But he and Boyd are similar players who offer similar value as an outstanding #3 and a decent/good #2.

          The great unknown, outside of Palmer's availability, is Boyd potential production. He has been the third wheel behind Burrow's favs Chase and Tee, and thusly the touches were limited. And there is the diverse skill sets involved, as previously mentioned.

              Dicker has been phenomenal. Percentage-wise, he's easily the best PK in team history.

              We loved Rolf Benirschke, but I'm pretty sure his conversion percentage was less than 80%. Then we got spoiled by John Carney, who rate was around 88-90%, if I remember correctly.

              Dicker missed *one* FGA in the entire 2023 season, and that was a 50+ yard attempt. His conversion percentage is in the high 90's. Nails.

                  If you think the Chargers are thin at WR, go look at BUF now. It’s no secret that this draft class at WR is freakin loaded. But I wonder if BUF wants to go big and go get one of the big 3…

                  BUF has 28-42-60 now. No 3rd. I wonder if they are gonna move those pics to acquire another 1st and move up.
                  Possibly a new trade partner. If I’m Hortiz/Harbaugh I want 2 1’s in this draft for 5. That’s just to get in the conversation. Obviously they would want more, but to start the conversation, teams gotta go get 2 1’s.
                  This draft is absolutely freaking loaded and it’s deep with talent. Screw next years draft. Capitalize in this draft.

                    Dicker as you say, was a phenom last season and it's true, we've only had a couple place kickers you could hang your hat on. I'd be real disappointed if they didn't resign him. Great kickers don't grow on trees lol..

                        Not for the Chargers, they don't. The Chiefs seem to have the magic touch when it comes to PKs. I wish they didn't...
